What are some games for men?

A men basket team won 24 games and lost 32, what is the ratio of games lost to the number of games played?

  • explain

  • Answer:

    A ratio is just a compairason between the games lost to the games played. You can write a ration in these different ways: 5/7 5:7 5 to 7 Since you're comparing the games lost to the total number of games, to get the total number of games you have to add 32 to 24: 24+32=56 Then, the ratio would be: lost:total=32:56 This ratio can be simplified: 32:56=16:28=8:14=4:7 So the final ratio is 4 to 7. This can also be written as: 4:7 AND 4/7

won games = 24 total games = 56 ratio is 24:56 get the least common denominator which is 8 ratio is 24/8 : 56/8 ---> 3:7 If you meant percentage: 24 + 32 = 56 total number of games played. 24 divided by 56 x 100 = 42.85% (this is the percentage of won games) 32 divided by 56 x 100 = 57.14% ( this is the percentage of lost games)

Add them up, divide the lost into the total games. 42%

it's 32 lost games over 56 games, total. 8 goes into 32 4 times, and into 56 7 times, so the ratio is 4:7

24:56, or simplified, 3:7

w00hahaha

Well, the original ratio would be 32 to the total 56, but we must simplify it. They are both divisible by 8. 32/8 = 4 and 56/8 = 7. The answer is 4 to 7.
